It's Fun to Play the Piano ... Please Pass It On!

I know this is a little off topic, except I own Piano World so there is some connection :-)

I am selling my manufactured home in Largo, Florida (Gulf Coast of Florida, between Saint Petersburg and Tampa). This is the side of Florida with the soft white sandy beaches and the warm gulf waters.

It has been COMPLETELY RENOVATED/REMODELED, Updated, and is MOVE IN READY!Furnished

PRICE DROPPED TO $17,900 further dropped to... $16,500!(we need to get this place sold)

Kathy and I have already committed to a house in Maine (yes, we are moving from Florida to Maine). It has great acoustics for piano parties :-) But I need to sell my place in Florida first. If you can think of anyone who might like a place on the Gulf Coast of Florida for only $17,900 $16,500, please tell them about mine! I promise we'll invite you to our piano parties!

If you'd like to escape the cold winters up north, this is your chance. Located in one of the nicest parks in the entire area.

(Note: It is in a 55+ park, so at least one resident has to be 55 or older).

No, the piano does not go with it :-)

The Description:

Address: 9925 Ulmerton Rd., #227, Largo, FL, 33771

Listing #: 6396

Completely remodeled - roofover, vapor barrier and insulation replaced, new windows, new vinyl siding, new addition 22x10, new laminate flooring, new screen room, new kitchen cabinets, backs up to open space, large shed.

The Red A marker is pointing to where my place is located. As you can see it's less than 5 miles to the beaches.

The beaches are all public, and even where there are condos in the way getting to the beach, they have to maintain public access. These are some of the biggest most pristine beaches anywhere in the state.

The water to the left is the Gulf of Mexico. Note the scale indicator in the lower left corner. It's about the same distance in the other direction to Tampa Bay and the beaches on the east side of the peninsula.

Here is the pitch from the park web site:

Why rent when you can OWN a home for less? Contact our housing consultants for details!

Enjoy long walks on world famous Clearwater Beach, the finest white sand beach in sunny Florida. Explore the sights and pleasures of The Pier with its fine shops, observation deck, aquarium, festive atmosphere, boating and just plain fun.

It looks like it's not far from Clearwater, where my family would go most summers for a coin show. I have to agree that the beaches on that stretch of coast are absolutely gorgeous. Wish I could buy it.

Not only are we within minutes of some of the nicest beaches in the country, we're alsosurrounded by theaters and museums and parks and great restaurants.

For the younger set (or young at heart) we are 40 minutes from Busch Gardens, and 90 minutes from Orlando(Disney World, Sea World, Universal [with it's wonderful Wizarding World of Harry Potter] LegoLand, etc..

Or head for downtown St. Pete for ... the Dali Museum, or the only permanent Chihuly exhibit in the country, .A little further south (about a 45 minute drive past beautiful scenery) brings you to Sarasota, home of the Ringling Museum (plus more gorgeous beaches and great shopping).

And of course if you are into boating and/or fishing we have endless miles of coastline, protected harbors, and the inter-coastal system.

And if that isn't enough, there are three big piano stores and a designer within five miles of my place.

Hi Monica,Clearwater is the next town, great area and home to Winter the dolphin of Dolphin Tale fame.

You're not very far Frank from where my dad used to live over in Holiday Ranch Park on E. Bay Drive. It really is very nice over in that area. We've been there dozens of times and loved every minute of it!

There beautiful beaches within 5 miles of my place. St. Pete beach, the beach voted Best in America is only 15 miles from my house. When you get on the coastal road there are often beaches on both sides of you because of the Inter-Coastal (inland waterways).

Many of them are from Canada (we fly both the American and Canadian flags next to the club house).

The rest are from all over the U.S.In fact among the many activities at the club house are regional clubs (Northeast Club, Mid-West Club, etc.).

There are also lots of organized activities for everyone, including dances, casino trips, dinners, etc.

So not only are there tons of things to do outside the park, there are plenty of fun things to do inside.Or you can do like some people (especially those from the cold northern climates) and just lay in the lounge chairs around the huge heated pool and soak up the sun, take a dip in the pool, or relax in the Jacuzzi.

BTW....our highs lately have been in the upper 70's, lower/mid 60's overnight and today is the first day of rain we have had in.......in, um.......I can't remember how long!SO nice to see clouds, I'm sick of that darn sun!

The park (Oak Crest / Acorn) is all considered to be on Ulmerton Road (9925).Within the park my unit is on Basket Oak, directly across from the club house.I can walk to the huge in-ground heated pool in literally 3 minutes.

The community itself is called Oak Crest / Acorn MHC (Manufactured Home Community)

The Lot rent includes access to all the club amenities (you can even use the kitchen and dining room to host a private party if you reserve it).Plus use of the pool, shuffle board courts, horseshoe pit, picnic area (covered, with tables and a gas grill), putting green, etc.

It also includes twice a week trash pickup and lawn maintenance.Granted the yards are small, but I'm directly across the street from the club house and the coupleof tree lined acres around it, so I consider that part of my yard :-)

I also like that I'm on the perimeter, so there aren't any houses behind me. In fact on the otherside of the chain link fence in my back yard is what I call the moat, about 15 feet down to the stream.

It means nobody can access your yard from the back (safe and peaceful).
